Invest in Beijing Tong Ren Tang Healthcare Investment stock from India

Yes. Indian residents and NRIs can buy Beijing Tong Ren Tang Healthcare Investment (2667) shares directly through Paasa. Beijing Tong Ren Tang Healthcare Investment is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, in the Medical - Care Facilities industry. Your money leaves India under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme and the shares are held in your own name at Interactive Brokers.

Usually more than one, and not a fraction: many Hong Kong listings trade in board lots, so the smallest order is one lot rather than one share. At HK$2.34 a share, size the order by the lot, not by the share.

Beijing Tong Ren Tang Healthcare Investment trades on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange but is domiciled in China, so any withholding on its dividends follows that country's rules rather than those of Hong Kong. Dividends are taxed at your slab rate in India. Paasa's dividend report shows the gross amount and any tax withheld for each payment.

Hong Kong generally does not levy capital gains tax on non-resident individual investors for HKEX-listed stocks. In India, gains on shares held for more than 24 months are long-term and taxed at 12.5%, and gains on shares held for 24 months or less are short-term and taxed at your income-tax slab rate. Both are worked out in rupees at the HKD/INR rate on the day you bought and the day you sold, so the currency move is part of the gain. Paasa's capital-gains statement gives you the figures for your return.
